August 25, 2013Elders' Children
I Timothy 3:4-5
Does the plural word “children” exclude the man with one child?
Greek: tekna
Compare the same word in:
I Timothy 5:4
Matthew 22:24
I Corinthians 7:14
Old Testament: Genesis 21:7
Modern usage
“Do you have children?”
“You must supervise your children.”
What about children who are grown and gone?
Titus 1:6
“keeping his children under control”
“one who manages his own household well”
I Timothy 3:12
I Thessalonians 5:12
Once the children are grown and gone, is that father still “managing” / “ruling” them?
Is he still charged with keeping his children “under control” / “in subjection”?
Considerations
How would you rate a man who is already an elder?
How long, and for how much, is one accountable before God as a parent?
What if the grown children die?
What about Proverbs 22:6? “Train up a child in the way he should go. Even when he is old he will not depart from it.”
Proverbs gives us general truths but they have exceptions (Proverbs 18:22.
Example: Jehoiada and Joash (II Chronicles 24:2
Contrast with: Eli (I Samuel 2:29
The reason God wants us to look at the children is for what it reveals about the man himself. I Timothy 3:2
Opposite example: What about a bad dad whose kids leave hom and then turn good?
What if the wife did virtually all of the training?
We’re not interested in the kids per se. We’re interested in what we learn about the man from looking at the kids.
Is Titus 1:6?
Greek: pista
I Timothy 6:2
Matthew 24:4

Acts 2:47.
I Corinthians 3:11- Christ is the foundation of the church.
Joel 2:28-32.
Daniel 2- The Lord would set up His kingdom in the days of the Roman Empire.

I Corinthians 15:58- We must continue to be stedfast in the work of the Lord.

Any religious relationship that started at a time other than at Acts 2is not the one prophecied in the Bible.

603 BC - Daniel 2:44

[My apologies - the beginning of this recording was lost. Sorry about that.]

Two sons representing two nations:
Ishmael: fleshly Israel

Galatians 4:27 as opposed to Sarah, who was barren.
Galatians 4:31.
Galatians 5:3- Anyone who tries to keep any bit of the old law in combinations with the new law is bound to keep the entirety of the old law to be acceptable to God. Of course, it is now impossible to completely follow the old law, so trying to keep any part of it is folly.
Galatians 5:9- If they added a little bit of the old law back into their practices, they would wholly fall from grace as far as God was concerned.
